Eco books for kids: Saving the planet, one book at a time.
The subject of our world's imperiled environment has become increasingly conspicuous in children's books.The environmental movement may not yet have changed the world, but it has certainly changed the world of children's books. Hardly a science or nature book for kids fails to sound a warning about habitats, species and resources in danger. Where 10 years ago an author described a hibernating bear fast asleep, in a recent book, "Life in the Boreal Forest," we read: "The bear snoozes under a fallen tree, but his sleep is restless. Chip, chop! Now that the soggy ground is frozen, a logging crew is cutting trees. Each year brings new loggers, miners, and peat harvesters. The boreal forest is disappearing fast."
